NEST Received a NEST list and looking for advice!

[James]

How long are they giving people to report to their new facilities once they get a TOL?

 

[FredSmoot]

What type of facility and what stage of training do you have to be in to get a sweet list like this?

 

[Dousand24]

Shit, my NEST in 2014 was APC, SCK, and JNU.

Don’t even get me started. More like 99% of the work. Most CAK controllers refuse to sequence anyone. It’s insane. “VFR” tower. “Cleared for Takeoff,” “Cleared to land.” That’s all you will say. If you can’t certify there, you don’t deserve to be ATC.

Haha. It’s the holdover from the big bad Charlie with an approach days.

That is a cool euphemism for air traffic observers.

Come on down to Pcola!

 

[MickWhoopin]

So could you assume that all these towers have openings and will be apart of the bid list for experienced controllers

Just go AWOL and come through! ?

 

[doodii]

Good Lord

 

[Ryaniscool]

ORL and PDK are both hard to get facilities that are well staffed. Get there and every NCEPT be able to go let someone go.

 

[Delta Tango]

Have you heard anything or received a TOL yet?

 

[Bigmane]

Come on down to Pcola!

Is Pcola able to pick up ?

I was right next to the gulf breeze zoo when I was in the Air Force. Definitely took my time in that area for granted. I also miss whataburger ?

 

[Golf delta]

DPA is a dope spot, well staffed and in a nice area of Chicagoland. Usually 6-12 month checkout too depending how quickly you can figure out LC.

Can't hide money in Gulf Breeze.

 

[The Flayer]

The list is quite large and any advice/recommendations on where to go/NOT go would be greatly appreciated!!!

I’m not too picky on location and I’ve been basing most of my decisions on pass rates/cost of living so far. Thanks for your help!!
